About Us, What Makes Us Different and What to Expect

Dr. Patrick Baker, Dr. Paul Baker, Dr. Ryan Berlin, Dr. Matt Finke and Dr. Eric Mersch are a highly skilled and experienced group of doctors of chiropractic offering you a team approach to successfully diagnosing, treating and correcting your health problem and the pain or discomfort you are enduring. At Baker Chiropractic, you are provided with the combined knowledge and unique abilities of these respected and reputable doctors. Dr. Patrick, Dr. Paul, Dr. Ryan and Dr. Eric are all graduates of the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic.  Palmer College of Chiropractic was founded in 1897 and is the first school of chiropractic in the world. Dr. Matt is a graduate of Life University School of Chiropractic. Dr. Patrick, Dr. Paul, Dr. Ryan, Dr. Matt and Dr. Eric all received highly specialized education and training in the human body’s central nervous system and how problems with the central nervous system can cause poor health, illness, disorders, diseases and injuries.

Doctors of Chiropractic go through schooling similar to medical doctors. In fact, for the first two years of training are almost identical. After that, medical students will focus on pharmacology (drugs), critical care and surgery while chiropractic students focus solely on the central nervous system, how subluxations impact the human body and how removing these subluxations can stop the pain, restore the body’s powerful healing powers and promote true health. Since 1994, Baker Chiropractic has been providing people of all ages throughout the greater Cincinnati area with the highest level of health care and guidance for healthy living. We can help you too.

Get to Know the People at Baker Chiropractic

Dr. Patrick Baker

I was born and raised in Ohio along with my twin brother, Dr. Paul Baker. At a very young age, both of our eyes were opened to the power of chiropractic care. I suffered from asthma and this condition prevented me from doing a lot of the things all kids should be able to do. Our father was a doctor of osteopathic medicine and like most doctors, treated my asthma by administering shots and prescribing medications and the use of inhalers. All of which are very scary and inconvenient to a young child.

When I was six years old, my father took me to a cousin who was a doctor of chiropractic. He was able to properly diagnose the cause of my asthma and successfully treat me with chiropractic care, curing me of that condition and enabling me to do things I was never able to do before. From that moment on, my brother and I were on a mission to become chiropractors and help give people back their health and well being like our cousin was able to give us. At that young age, I developed a love for health, nutrition and the benefits a chiropractic care. That knowledge and understanding was a tremendous advantage for me as a competitive high school athlete and a body builder. I take great pleasure and satisfaction in being a chiropractor as well as a Personal Fitness Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Dr. Paul Baker

I was born and raised in Ohio along with my twin brother, Dr. Patrick Baker. Much like Dr. Patrick, my eyes were opened to the power of chiropractic care. I suffered from painful gastrointestinal problems. Our father was a doctor of osteopathic medicine and like most doctors, treated me with prescription medications. These medications treated certain symptoms of my gastrointestinal problems but they did not resolve my problem. Only after being placed in the care of our cousin who was a doctor of chiropractic was my condition properly diagnosed and treated.

Through his chiropractic care techniques and nutrition recommendations, my gastrointestinal issues were cured. Relieving that gastrointestinal pain placed my brother and me on a mission to become chiropractors. We both became very passionate about this direction for our lives and developed a deep love and appreciation for optimal health, nutrition and chiropractic care. This was a huge advantage for me as a competitive high school athlete and a body builder. After nearly 20 years as a doctor of chiropractic, it remains a very fulfilling and satisfying feeling to give people back their health and well being just like our cousin was able to give us. I take great pleasure and satisfaction in being a chiropractor as well as a Personal Fitness Trainer and Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Dr. Ryan Berlin

I was born and raised in Michigan. Just like Drs. Paul and Patrick Baker, my eyes were opened to the power of chiropractic care at a very young age. As a child, I suffered from frequent ear infections and tonsillitis. My parents took me to medical doctors who surgically removed my tonsils and adenoids then placed tube implants into each ear. When my health failed to improve, the medical doctors recommended more surgeries. To my parent’s credit, they decided not to subject me to additional surgeries and began searching for alternatives. That’s when they turned to chiropractic care. Within just a few weeks of receiving chiropractic adjustments, my health dramatically improved.

From that experience, it became pretty clear to me that I wanted to become a chiropractor and help give people back their health and well being. Chiropractic care has continually had a positive effect on me throughout my life. It helped me be a highly competitive collegiate athlete and it provides me with the strength and preparedness to tackle the daily stress associated with life. I take great pleasure and satisfaction in being a chiropractor as well as a Strength and Conditioning Coach. I joined Baker Chiropractic in 2009 and prior to joining Dr. Paul and Dr. Patrick, I visited hundreds of chiropractic offices throughout the United States. When I walked into Baker Chiropractic, I immediately knew this was something special. They share my passion for being a doctor of chiropractic and I am delighted to be a part of this team.

Dr. Matt Finke

I was born and raised in Ohio. I was introduced to the power of Chiropractic care while in high school. I suffered a shoulder dislocation while playing football in middle school, which eventually became a chronic situation in high school. I was fortunate enough to have a Chiropractor that volunteered time as our team physician who helped my injury tremendously. As I began to research Chiropractic on my own, its philosophy of ‘the body’s ability to heal itself through proper nerve system function’ made perfect sense to me. That’s when I decided to become a Chiropractor and help people regain their health naturally.

Chiropractic care has been the major component of health and wellness for my life. It provides my family and I the foundation of a lifestyle that enables us to avoid sickness, illness, disease and any medications!  I am very excited and passionate about sharing this principle with as many people as possible.

Prior to joining Baker Chiropractic, I was in solo practice for 9 years. When I met Drs. Paul & Patrick and we discussed the possibility of ‘joining forces’, I immediately knew this was the way to be more impactful in the community. They share my passion for being a Doctor of Chiropractic and I am delighted to be a part of this team.

My Professional Credentials and Memberships:

• Life University School of Chiropractic

Dr. Eric Mersch

I grew up here in the Cincinnati area and graduated from Lakota East High School in Liberty Township, Ohio.

Throughout my life, I have been focused on health, exercise and the body’s ability to heal itself without the assistance of prescription medications or surgery.  However, it wasn’t until I began more in-depth research and studies while attending Ohio University that I realized chiropractic was the field which matched my interests, motivations and passions perfectly.  It became a logical and clear choice to pursue a career as a doctor of chiropractic and help others enjoy lives filled with maximum health and wellness, free from pain, injury, disorder and disease.

Upon graduating from Ohio University, I went on to attend and earn my doctor of chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic.  While attending Palmer, I interned at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness and witnessed first-hand the positive impact this health care practice has on the lives of its patients.  I was eager to become a part of this quality organization.

I am pleased and honored to have now joined the group of health care professionals at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness. I am dedicated to upholding the high standards and respected reputation for Enlightening, Adjusting and Saving Lives.

Gayle Bresson, Office Manager (Red Bank Road and West Chester Locations)

I was born and raised in the Cincinnati area. For the last eleven years, I have been a part of Baker Chiropractic, first as a patient, then as an employee. For someone who loves to help people, it was a natural fit joining a team that is so passionate about the health and wellness of others. At Baker Chiropractic, we don’t just treat symptoms; we correct the underlying causes of those symptoms and put you on a path to total wellness. I have personally experienced the benefits of true health by following the guidance, care and nurturing of our doctors and staff. I am also an avid and experienced “juicer” and welcome questions on how you can become a ‘juicer” too. I look forward to seeing you at our Red Bank Road or West Chester locations.

Jennifer Baker, Office Manager (Fairfield Location)

I was born in Wisconsin, raised in both Wisconsin and Florida, and attended college at Cincinnati State. As a former state champion and nationally ranked gymnast, I grew up relying on chiropractic care to treat everything from ear infections to serious sports injuries. My mom, who was my gymnastics coach, also had worked at a chiropractic office. She clearly understood the importance of chiropractic care and provided her children with those many benefits. She also taught me how chiropractic care can maximize an athlete’s performance at all ages and levels of competition.

After I retired my gymnastics leotard I moved onto the next chapter of my life, competitive cheerleading. I was named team captain and re-voted for 6 years straight. I have always loved leading people in a positive direction and I’m very passionate about things I get involved with. Having worked here for the last five years, I can tell you firsthand that you will not find a more dedicated team of professionals committed to giving you the best care possible. When you become a patient at Baker Chiropractic, you will immediately feel welcomed into our family and comforted by the high level of care you receive. I look forward to seeing you at our Fairfield office location and watching you, as I do with so many of our patients, head down the road to health, wellness, and happiness!

How Do You Prepare and What Should You Expect When You Visit Baker Chiropractic?

Many people ask us how they should prepare and what they should expect when they visit one of our three Cincinnati area offices. If you are a new patient, you can prepare for your visit by completing our new patient forms which are available to download from our website. Simply click here now to download these forms: Baker Chiropractic New Patient Forms. For children ages 12 and under, please also download the following form in addition to the New Patient Packet: Pediatric New Patient Supplemental Form. You can fill these out ahead of time in the comfort and convenience of your home and bring the completed forms with you to your appointment. Always arrive at our offices a few minutes early for your scheduled appointment, dress comfortably and relax.

We are here to help you, serve you and get you well again. There really is nothing to fear. Chiropractic care is safe and non-intrusive. We won’t be sticking you with needles. Our doctors and staff members will welcome you and make you feel at home each time you visit. Also remember, this is chiropractic care. We are able to conduct adjustments while you are wearing your everyday clothes. No need for those uncomfortable gowns that tie in the back found in most medical doctor’s offices.

Your First Visit: At your first visit, Dr. Paul, Dr. Patrick, Dr. Ryan or Dr. Matt will meet with you privately to discuss your health problem, perform a preliminary exam and determine what diagnostic tests need to be performed. In most cases, you will then be directed to a local radiologist to have x-rays taken. We will also schedule a follow-up visit to review your x-rays and other diagnostic tests. Your first visit will take approximately 1 hour.

Your Second Visit: At your second visit, the doctor will meet with you privately to discuss the results of your preliminary exam and test, his plans for corrective action and he will answer any questions that you may have. He will then proceed to perform your first chiropractic adjustment and you will be scheduled for a series of follow up visits. Your second visit will take approximately 1 hour.

Follow Up Visits: At your follow up visit or series of visits, you will almost always be taken immediately into the treatment area to begin your care and rehabilitation treatment. Once you are done with your chiropractic adjustment, therapy and rehabilitation exercises, we will confirm your next appointment. Your follow up visits will take approximately 30 – 45 minutes.
